Description

When the snow’s falling outside there’s nowhere quite as cosy as the interiors of Chalet Bavaria. This luxury ski chalet in Verbier is a beautiful bolthole full of home comforts and has a warm welcome for all. Wood-clad walls, colourful rugs and a roaring fire set the bar high for cosiness.

Huge, squashy sofas make the living area a wonderful place to relax, read the papers, and catch up on all your friends’ adventures at the end of each day. And there are plenty of little nooks to find a quiet moment in too, from the TV snug to the chess table, to the library where you can escape for an hour or two with a book. A south-facing balcony leads off the living area, with amazing views down to the valley. Take a blanket and a glass of wine out with you to truly appreciate it at its best! Chalet Bavaria even has its very own wine cellar, with bar, where you can enjoy wine tastings and getting to know some of the local labels.

The dining area, which is open-plan to the kitchen, also has a warming glow about it. The long table seats 10 easily and is lit up in the evenings by a stunning chandelier. Whether you’re cooking for yourselves or enjoying the hard work of a private chef, it’s a space that lends itself to laughter and good conversation.

Perfectly placed for access to the snow, Chalet Bavaria also is pleasingly close when you want to return home and rest aching legs. Kick off your ski gear in the private ski room, and head straight for the spa on the ground floor, which includes a plunge pool, sauna and relaxation zone. Outside, a hot tub bubbles away, ready to welcome you and a glass of champagne any time of day.

At the end of each evening, beautiful bedrooms, each decorated in their own unique style are ready to welcome you to sweet dreams. Our top tip is to be first through the door and claim the fabulous master suite on the top floor, which features lots of little luxuries, from a Hammam shower to his and hers basins, and a quiet study area.
